As can be seen from the disclosed patent drawings, Yamaha E0 1 electric pedal that has entered mass production has abandoned some unrealistic designs of the concept car exhibited earlier, such as the most conspicuous tweed material covering the entire cushion and the inner surface of the fairing, and the back fork of the shark fin. , making E0 1 closer to the model used in reality.
In addition to these changes, we can also find that the production version E0 1 will adopt a single headlight design, and the distribution of light sources is based on the headlights of Yamaha Super Run R 1, and the two LED light sources are placed in the same lamp slot. In addition, mass-produced E0 1 Compared with the early concept car models, the rearview mirror is larger. Its cushion has also returned to the design of ordinary pedal models, and the storage box is located under the cushion.
Perhaps in order to leave enough storage space, the battery of E0 1 is placed between the knight's legs, and the battery is a lithium battery. It is worth mentioning that, although Yamaha has formed a power exchange alliance with Honda, Suzuki and Kawasaki, and formulated a standardized specification for interchangeable motorcycle battery packs, the E0 1 battery is not a detachable design. According to the data, E0 1 will mainly adopt the direct charging mode, and the charging port is set on the front panel like many cars. It is said that this design is to cope with the increasingly popular fast charging station in the future.
Although this set of patent drawings was recently released through the Japan Patent Office, it is said that the actual application date of this set of patents is the end of 20 19, which indicates that Yamaha originally intended to launch E0 1 as a production model.
At present, there is no more information about the detailed performance data of the new car, but this car was built by Yamaha to replace the 125cc fuel scooter, which means that it may have a rated output of about 1 1kW.
Earlier, foreign media speculated that the production model of this car will be released at this year's Tokyo Motor Show. However, due to the worsening epidemic situation in Japan, this year's Tokyo Auto Show has been cancelled. The latest news shows that Yamaha is likely to release E0 1 production models at the end of 2002 or early 2022.
